Her Bleeding Ghost

What happens when a loved one dies and you cannot take it?

 

She sees you.

Couldn't take the pain.

I wonder why?

She couldn't live without;

She knew that you were gonna die.

And so you understand that

All the plans you made have gone awry.

And so she takes the bullet;

Falls right in front of your eyes.

 

You can't stop fate or time

From catching up on its victim.

You can't lie

To save her.

She's bleeding out her life.

You can't do anything

But let her know

You'll be there when she dies.

(I'm here.)

 

She sees only her love for you.

She doesn't understand why.

(I died for you.)

 

You cannot

Rid yourself of the sight.

You do not understand

Why she's eating up your life.

And though she bleeds for you

Eternally in your mind,

You begin to bleed too,

Each and every night.

(Love, why?)

 

She sees only her love for you.

She doesn't understand why

You want to die.

She gave you life.

(Live.)

 

She lies beside you every night

As your dreams come crashing down.

She has every damn right

To keep you holding on.

Haunt your life.

 

She's gone to save you.  (Your pain is breaking me. I wish that you could see)

Never thought it'd end like this. (Why I can never leave. You are my everything.)

Her blood's still on your hands. (Your pain is making me so I can never leave.)

Never should have come to this. (Don't mean to haunt your life, but you can't die tonight.)

 

Do you remember the time

That she died

To save your life?

And you didn't cry

In time

To keep her from haunting your heart and mind.

Now you're standing here;

Can't repent all the things you fear.

And though she died for you,

Her memory's too much to bear.

 

She sees only her love for you.

She doesn't understand why

You can't take the fall.

You can't take the fall.

Face your fears.

You're still standing there,

Up in the air,

But you won't fall.

She's still next to you and says

You can't lose it all.

I liked this poem it was very dramatic, and it had a nice flow to it that kept the reader interested through the whole poem. I thought it was amazing :D

[Aria]

another good one. the flow was good but slightly off near the end. The way you're haunting the reader and your character is lovely. Keep it up!

I'm in awe. Poetry at its finest. This was simply awesome. The imagery and the story that played in my head created a vision on my computer screen. I heard actual voices other than mine while reading this piece. I look forward to reading some more of your pieces.
